Máš někdy pocit, že jsi na vše sama? Tak už nejsi. Jsme v tom spolu. Jsem máma od dvou, která se učí milovat rozmanitost, kterou život přináší. Vytvořila jsem prostor pro myšlenkové pochody, ve kterých si každý najde své. Ráda bych otevřeně mluvila o všem, co mi pomáhá přijmout to jaká jsem ale i to, co dělám proto abych si plnila sny. Že někdy jsou to maličkosti, které mi změní den a pomáhají mi cítit se dobře. Tak nasaď sluchátka a pusť se se mnou na cestu :).

Inspirace vs přehlcenost. To bylo moje téma. Tedy, ještě je. Učím se dávkovat si inspiraci, abych neztrácela samu sebe a taky aby toho nebylo jednoduše moc.

A je v pořádku, že to mám každý de…

Vážně jsem si nemyslela, že tohle budu jednou sdílet veřejně protože by mě nenapadlo, že to tak budu vnímat. Ale vnímám a je to děsivý.
